Anastasia refers to everyone as ‘Man’ with a capital ‘M’. Every human, man or woman, she calls ‘Man’. This is a translation from the Russian word ‘chelovek’, which means literally ‘human being’.
In the English world the word ‘Man’ has always been associated with half of our population. The word ‘human being’ has its roots in words like humble, humility, etc. whereas the Russian word for human being has its roots in words indicating thinking and a more divine definition of humans. In Russian the word chelovek can mean either a man or a women. Some might say it is a much more pure translation of what we are. In any case I personally have felt empowered by using this word and by thinking of all humans as ‘Man’.
“God is the interplanetary Mind, or intelligence. He is not to be found in a single mass. Half of Him is in the non-material realm of the Universe. This is the sum total of all energies. The other half of Him is dispersed across the Earth, in every individual, in every Man.” (pp 50)
She says every Man can communicate with others using their will and imagination, and the desire of both parties to communicate. (pp 51)
Anastasia says quite clearly that her abilities are our abilities and are inherent in every Man. We are all given these abilities from the start and everyone has them. People are starting to realize these abilities and are “going back to their primal origins”. (pp 70)
“Everything but everything on Earth, every blade of grass, every insect, has been created for Man, and everything has its individual appointed task to perform in the service of Man. The multitude of medicinal plants are a confirmation of this.” (pp 75)
“Nature and the mind of the Universe have seen to it that every new Man is born a sovereign, a king! He is like an angel pure and undefiled”. (pp 93)
When we are born we take in a huge flood of information from the universe through the still soft upper part of our heads. All children born are already the wisest creatures on Earth. They are God-like. (pp 93)
“Man in the world of technocracy has never yet invented anything that is not already present in nature. Even the most perfect manufactured devices are but a poor imitation of what exists in nature.” (pp 95)
Anastasia describes a process of “thought-transfer” which she says is far superior to speech. This type of dialogue is faster and conveys more information. You must be attentive towards your fellow Man, have a developed imagination upon which you can draw from and have a good memory. She says this technique can help a person get to know a person’s soul, all animals and plants and the meaning of creation. (pp 88)
“In the Universe there is no one and nothing stronger than Man except God!” (pp 113)
“Everything bad that happens to Man is brought on by Man himself, whenever he disobeys the laws of spiritual being and breaks his connection to Nature.” (pp 132)
“In the whole of the Universe there is no being capable of more powerful development and greater freedom than Man. All other civilizations bow before Man. All sorts of civilizations have the capability of developing and bringing themselves to perfection, but only in one direction, and they are not free. Even the greatness of Man is beyond their grasp. God the Great Mind created Man and to no one else gave He more than to Man.” (pp 144)
“No machine will ever be superior to the human brain, provided the brain is kept in constant training.” (pp 166)
Anastasia says the sun is like a mirror that reflects emanations from the Earth, which the human eye cannot see. When people are in a state of love and are feeling happy they radiate these to the Sun where they are reflected back to the Earth in the form of sunlight. She says that if the sun just gave its energy to other planets including Earth and didn’t receive any sort of energy back that it would extinguish itself or burn unevenly.
Intuition comes from these types of reflections sent from one person to another. She says that by drawing upon this energy and understanding its nature one can perform miracles and have mystic like abilities. (pp 166-168)
Anastasia says that we believe in our “complete dependence on the position of the planets” and that horoscopes are a device of the dark forces. According to her there is no way the planets have power over Man’s heart and mind and that it is actually the other way around and Man controls the movements of the planets through his subconscious.
“God created Man in his image and likeness” and that Man has great freedom and can consciously decide everything. No one or nothing can control Man apart from his own will. She says that God wants to love a free Man and wants to return that love.
If one person wanted a new sun to appear it wouldn’t happen, but if every human wanted it then it would happen. (pp 172-173)
When Man has radiant feelings they can help heal himself and his body. She says it is radiant feelings that “are the most powerful and effective remedy against any kind of bodily ailment”. The stronger and clearer the radiant feeling, the stronger healing effect it will have on others. (pp 176)
The highest evaluation of your personality comes from those around you. (pp 183)
